Albion
Liner notes
A midwest folk song about the quiet streets of Albion, Iowa, where the echoes of its 1852 founding as La Fayette still linger in the Marshall County breeze. The lyrics reflect on the small-town life and the enduring spirit of the local community. Acoustic guitars and a gentle fiddle carry the melody of this rural heartland town.
